From Divorced Wife To The Top Heiress novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Dylan felt a twinge of unease deep in his chest as he saw Serena really showing up at the party as Spencer’s companion.

Serena looked stunning tonight. Her floor–length gown clung perfectly to her curves, accentuating her flawless figure.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the diamond necklace and earrings made her skin glow.

Eliana, in a white dress with straight hair falling down her back, looked almost pale. Standing in front of Serena, she seemed utterly ordinary, completely overshadowed by Serena’s commanding presence.

‘Explanation? About what?‘ Serena thought.

“Mr. Ashford, I have nothing to explain,” she said, her tone icy and detached,

Dylan’s brows furrowed. Ever since their divorce, seeing her unfamiliar eyes always left a dull ache in his

chest.

For reasons he didn’t understand, he felt this irresistible urge to silence her insistent, restless lips.

Action outpaced thought. Without hesitation, he kissed her. Her lips were just as soft as he remembered.

Serena froze, a sharp memory flaring; he had kissed Eliana, too. Serena pushed him away forcefully.

Wiping her lips, Serena felt a wave of disgust. Her furious eyes sparked with hatred. She shouted, “Dylan, how
